And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If I didn't already have a nice collection of skillets, I'd try one of these.
I know! My Griswold is, if the internet is to be believed, almost a hundred years old based on when they used the logo stamped on the bottom. My grandparents probably bought it with money my grandfather earned either working in the local lumber mill, or a mine (he used to walk to work in a mine near his home in Soulsbyville).
LeCreuset® skillets are the Cat's Ass. Made in Yemassee/Beaufort Co., SC. Not far from Frank Lloyd Wright's only plantation designed house, Auldbrass. Joel Silver restored it. His 4 Oscars are on a shelf in the reading room.
He shows up in Beaufort from time to time with his family. But rarely. People leave them alone.
Probably cooks exceedingly well, but you have to use the right premium organic peanut oil at the precise temperature for the exact time for seasoning it - or dude, it's ruined.... (oils & combs hair, waxes mustache, starts tinkering with complicated chrome-plated coffee-brewing device).
Haunt a few antique shops and buy a hundred year old Griswold or other properly cast skillet. Clean and season it, take care of it and I promise you that you or your grandchildren will never wear it out. Plus it won't cost as much as the poorly cast junk on the market today. Bubbarust
Doesn't anyone make a cover for that shape?
ReplyDeleteMight try one of those when my Griswold wears out. I guess it'll wear out in another 100 yrs.

DeleteNot for $184......
ReplyDeletePlus tax. Divide that cost by the literal century plus it will last if you do your part, and it comes out to about two dollars a year. A bargain!
DeleteHey, Jeff Bezos has got to eat too.
DeleteAnalon x is the best skillet
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lid sealing in the heat could be problematic. Maybe one edge has a hinge molded onto edge ?
ReplyDeleteLodge recently purchased Fineex, so maybe it could be considered a luxury line cast iron.
Have one with the cover. Yes, very expensive but we love it.
ReplyDeleteagain what is your %%%%
ReplyDeleteWhat's it matter? If you don't like it go to smile.amazon.com. It's probably the same cut that the charities get, which isn't much.

Looks like a hipster skillet.
